Lukasz Kubot

There were reports earlier this week that ahead of their match against Lukasz Kubot and Andrea Hlavackova a large amount of money had been backed on Lara Arruabarrena and compatriot David Marrero to lose.

The second seeded pair took just an hour and 11 minutes to beat Spaniard-Argentine wildcard pair of Pablo Carreno and Busta Federico Delbonis 6-3, 7-5 in the first round of the 537,050-euro tournament.
